1. And they won’t pay them shit because the GC will keep everything, they’ll do it for a few years and break their bodies and all try to open their own shops.

2. Good thing we let in all these illegals

3. Good luck.  My kids were taught to work smart not hard, get an education, know their self-worth.  There’s enough poor people’s kids to do that shit still. 

4. More infrastructure

5. Then Pay more. You can’t use prisoners and you can’t have more cheap, abuseable immigrants.

   And you better get used to no more cheap immigrants. The GOP has to limit the inflow because that’s their only issue and the Dems are prepping a ton of aid for South America & Mexico which’ll cut off the flow of refugees.

   So either way you either pay more or you don’t get workers.

6. I was in residential construction for years – used it to pay my way through college. It’s a great skill set but the pay is awful. GC’s walk away with all the money while their workers just struggle to get by. And if everyone tries to become their own GC, it just becomes a vicious cycle of everyone trying to underbid everyone else.

7. Good thing there’s 300000 illegals coming in every month to take them and drive wages down
